  • U20 Rome-Milan 2021 – Urban 20 Calls on G20 To
    TRADUZIONE ITALIANA DI CORTESIA Guidati dalle città co-presidenti di Roma e Milano, noi, i sindaci e governatori delle città sottoscritte, riuniti come Urban 20 (U20), invitiamo i Leader del G20 a collaborare con le città per realizzare società incentrate sull’uomo, eque, a emissioni zero, a prova di cambiamenti climatici, inclusive e prospere. La natura trasformativa dell'Agenda 2030 offre alle città un'opportunità chiave per promuovere un nuovo paradigma di sviluppo sostenibile e avviarsi verso una ripresa resiliente dalla crisi umanitaria causata dal COVID-19. Sindaci e governatori sono in prima linea nella risposta alla pandemia da COVID-19 e all'emergenza climatica. Il modo in cui i leader indirizzeranno i finanziamenti per la ripresa da COVID-19 rappresenta la sfida più significativa per qualsiasi governo impegnato nella risposta a pandemia ed emergenza climatica. La pandemia da COVID-19 ha messo in luce la solidarietà tra città e ha sottolineato l'importanza di lavorare insieme a soluzioni locali che garantiscano che nessuno e nessun luogo vengano dimenticati. Ha sottolineato che istituzioni pubbliche forti e la fornitura di servizi sono vitali per la coesione delle nostre comunità e per garantire l'accesso universale all'assistenza sanitaria in maniera equa per tutti. Per garantire che la fornitura di servizi pubblici a livello locale venga mantenuta, che le persone siano protette e che si realizzi una ripresa verde, giusta e sostenibile dalla pandemia da COVID- 19, le città devono avere accesso diretto a forniture e finanziamenti da fonti internazionali e nazionali, per esempio dai recovery plan nazionali. L'accesso equo ai vaccini deve essere garantito a tutti, in particolare alle città dei paesi in via di sviluppo.

The meeting was chaired by Mr Akhmetzhan Yessimov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The EU delegation was led by Mr Bernard Bot, Foreign Minister of the Netherlands. The European Commission was represented by Mr Michael Leigh, Deputy Director General for External Relations. The Cooperation Council was the first meeting at this level between the EU and Kazakhstan since the EU enlarged to 25 Member States on 1 May 2004. The meeting came just over five years after entry into force, on 1 July 1999, of the EU-Kazakhstan Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA). It therefore marked the half-way point in the initial 10 year period of the PCA. The Cooperation Council welcomed the recent historic enlargement of the European Union and the timely signature of the Protocol on accession of the ten new Member States to the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the EU and Kazakhstan. It looked forward to ratification of this.

The project has released a series of country reports on Brazil, China, Ethiopia, India and the United States, and various reports on cities, land use, energy and finance.

  • Urban Forced Removals in Rio De Janeiro and Los Angeles: North-South Similarities in Race and City
    \\jciprod01\productn\I\IAL\44-2\IAL207.txt unknown Seq: 1 1-NOV-13 13:43 337 Urban Forced Removals in Rio de Janeiro and Los Angeles: North-South Similarities in Race and City Constance G. Anthony1 In April of 2010, Rio de Janeiro’s mayor, Eduardo Paes, announced that two in-city, poor, and largely Afro-Brazilian neighborhoods, Morro dos Prazeres and Laboriaux, would be cleared and all inhabitants would be forced to move.2 Despite dev- astating winter storms, which had indicated again the precarious- ness of Rio’s hillside favelas, this was not really new news.3 Rio’s favelas have experienced a century of forced removal.4 The early neighborhoods were built in historically undesirable, beautiful, but steeply inaccessible parts of Rio, and today these are impor- tant pieces of Rio’s real estate.5 For more than a century, many such favelas have allowed poor, working class Afro-Brazilians immediate access to the city below.6 While there are incredible challenges with living in neighborhoods cut off from good, or in some cases even basic, city services and infrastructure, the resources of the city at large continued to make these neighbor- hoods highly desirable for those who lived, and as importantly, worked there.7 Cities across the globe use this mandate for the forced move- ment of poor populations out of in-city urban neighborhoods.8 1. Constance G. Anthony is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Seattle University. She received her PhD at the University of California, Berkeley. She has published a book on the politics of international aid and technology transfer with Columbia University Press, and articles on US science policy, refugees, and famine in Africa as well as the philosophical foundations of US interventionism.
